title: Anthropometry of Algerian women.
abstract: An anthropometric study was carried out in Algeria between March 1986 and September 1987. A set of body dimensions were taken from a sample of 666 Algerian female subjects, age range 16-65 years. The subjects were selected randomly and covered a mix of occupational groups. The measurements were taken as part of a fuller study, and were chosen for their relevance to furniture design and the domestic workplace layout. Results are presented, discussed, and compared with those of other female populations.
